Bride of the Abyss

Her sister locks the cage. Her father orders the arrows. The monster gives her a way out. Elara chooses his hand anyway, and marries the scarred creature her kingdom fears. When she takes a spear meant for him, nine chains break. Her husband is Nerion, god of the abyss, and the ocean is kneeling to its queen.

But a beautiful face cannot undo a lie. As Elara fights to save the mother her family buried alive, stolen sea hearts draw both worlds toward war. A god wants her vengeance. A kingdom wants another sacrifice. This bride has other plans.
